For Optimum Security, Grab Yourself A Trailer Plug Adaptor
There are many reasons you may need to invest in a trailer plug adapter. If you have made the decision to invest in a vintage caravan that hasn't been on the road in 30 years, you may need to replace the existing trailer plug with a more current plug adapter. Or you might have purchased a new vehicle and to tow your existing trailer, you need to buy an adapter to fit the new plug of your new car. eBay has a great selection of trailer plugs and adapters for you to choose from to remedy your current problem.
What to look for in a trailer plug adapter
Trailer plug adapters are inexpensive and designed to solve mismatched connections, provided the wiring matches correctly! To do that, make sure you understand which trailer connectors are required. There are five-, seven-, and twelve-pin connectors. The pins' number corresponds to the number of wires in the trailer. The higher the number, the more functions the adapter can perform. You must consider the type of vehicle you own. The 6-pin connector is the most common but getting harder to find.
The 5-pin trailer connection is the simplest and most affordable. These connectors have limited functions, but they're still the most popular and valuable. The 5-pin connection is round and has two pins for running lights, one for brakes and one for taillights.
The 7-way trailer connector is an essential part of any RV. Besides providing the necessary wiring for a home electrical hook-up, it can also be used to connect an RV with a car with an electrically powered trailer. This adapter allows you to easily convert a 30-amp power cord to a 50-amp electrical connection. To avoid disconnection, you need to ensure that the electrical cord in your trailer has a higher voltage than the one you use in your vehicle.
